• Visual C++ Release object code seems now incompatible with debug object code

  Prior to Visual Studio 2005, it was possible to link together C and C++ .obj files which were a mix of release (compiled using /MT) and debug (compiled using /MTd) builds. I'm finding with Visual Studio 2005, that the size and layout of C++ class objects which have STL container data members now varies between the debug and release builds, such that this linking of mixed build objects no longer works. Is there a way I can compile my release code so it will link with debug objects, or am I now forced to have debug and release builds of each module This, of course, is because the /MTd switch defines ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 CLR integration problems with unmanaged code

  Hi, With SQL Server 2005 I'm trying to define a CLR integration UDF that calls unmanaged C++ code contained in a .dll. I have the following two signed assemblies: 1) 'wrapper' - this assembly is basically a wrapper class writen in C++ managed extensions code that calls a legacy library written in unmanaged C++ 2) 'provider'- this assembly offers services some of which are contained in the 'wrapper' assembly. This class is written in C# and its assembly is marked as unsafe since it is calling unmanaged code The problem is that when I run the assembly creation statement: CREATE ASSEMBLY [Provider] FROM 'c:\Development\Provider.dll' WITH ...Show All
